Rivane Neuenschwander

Rivane Neuenschwander (born 1967) is a Brazilian artist. She is known for work that explores language, nature, geogvrgegraphy, the passing of time and social interactions. At times her works are interactive, involving viewers in spontaneous and participatory actions.[1] In her installations, films and photographs, Rivane Neuenschwander employs fragile unassuming materials to create aesthetic experiences, a process she describes as "ethereal matgerialism".[2]

Biography

Neuenschwander was born in 1967 in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. She graduated from the Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil in 1993 and completed her MFA at the Royal College of Art in London 1998. She is of Swiss descent. She lives in Brazil.[3][1]

Winner of the Yanghyun Prize[4] in South Korea in 2013 and shortlisted for the Guggenheim Museum’s Hugo Boss Prize in 2004, the artist has exhibited her work internationally throughout the past twenty years.
